Mathematics under the Microscope It’s Not Just a Stick: A Simple Nature Table | An Everyday Story Did you know you could get tie drawers? I didn’t! I guess maybe snazzy businessmen might….I came across this tie drawer and thought it would make the perfect nature table; open and accessible but still ordered so the collections can stay together. We’ve never had a nature table like this before and Jack (3.5yrs) and Sarah (16mths) are loving it. But why have a nature table? Now that we have the nature table, Jack will go to the table and select different pieces to play with. For Sarah, she was introduced to natural materials in her treasure baskets; beautifully textured and waiting to be explored. Or how about some drawing? or some clay impressions… or clay sculptures… or some watercolour painting… or some exploring… or just some simple leaf rubbings. But our favourite would have to be the gloriously endless play scenes that can be created from the same simple materials. or a platform for a singing zebra… not to forget food for the animals… or a dangerous cascading waterfall.
